‘1889’
(‘age 56’)
.
(German: [joˈhanəs ˈbʁaːms]; ‘7 may 1833’ – ‘3 april 1897’)
.
(“johannes brahms” was a german ‘composer’ and ‘pianist’ of the ‘romantic period’)
.
(born in ‘hamburg’ into a ‘lutheran family’, ‘brahms’ spent much of his ‘professional life’ in ‘vienna’ (/ ‘austria’))
(his ‘reputation’ and ‘status’ as a ‘composer’ is such that he is sometimes grouped with ‘johann sebastian bach’ and ‘ludwig van beethoven’ as one of the “3 Bs” of music, a comment originally made by the 19th-century conductor ‘hans von bülow’)
(‘brahms’ composed for ‘symphony orchestra’, ‘chamber ensembles’, ‘piano’, ‘organ’, and ‘voice’ / ‘chorus’)
(a ‘virtuoso pianist’, he premiered many of his own works)
(he worked with some of the ‘leading performers’ of his time, including the pianist ‘clara schumann’ and the violinist ‘joseph joachim’ (the 3 were close friends))
(many of his ‘works’ have become ‘staples’ of the ‘modern concert repertoire’)
(an ‘uncompromising perfectionist’, ‘brahms’ destroyed some of his ‘works’ and left others ‘unpublished’)
(Brahms has been considered, by his contemporaries and by later writers, as both a traditionalist and an innovator)
(his music is firmly rooted in the structures and compositional techniques of the “classical masters”)
(while many ‘contemporaries’ found his music too ‘academic’, his ‘contribution’ and ‘craftsmanship’ have been admired by subsequent figures as diverse as ‘arnold schoenberg’ and ‘edward elgar’)
(the ‘diligent’ + ‘highly constructed’ nature of brahms’s works was a ‘starting point’ and an ‘inspiration’ for a ‘generation’ of ‘composers’)
.
(embedded within his ‘meticulous structures’, however, are ‘deeply romantic motifs’)
